BRIAN DRAKE AT LARGE INTERVIEW FEATURING PAUL BISHOP…

Here's a good one for those of you tired of the
same-old-same with your police stories. Paul Bishop's LIE CATCHERS is a corker
of a book, and a big plus are the bonus features. Paul includes two personal
essays from his amazing law enforcement career: his first interrogation, and
his last. They are terrific insights into what makes cops tick. There's more
that I can say about them, but that takes us into spoiler territory. You simply
have to read this one for yourself.

I slapped the cuffs on Paul and tossed him into my own
holding tank for this interview:

Brian Drake: What
inspired Lie Catchers?

Paul Bishop: I
was looking for a new twist on an established genre. While pulling my hair out
watching an interrogation conducted by real world detectives on an episode of
48 Hours, I realized I’d never come across a novel, movie, or TV show
portraying thesuccessful interrogation
techniques I’d developed over thirty plus years with the LAPD dealing with
uncountable suspects.I now teach
interrogation to numerous law enforcement agencies – not just the techniques,
but the psychological and physical sciences behind them. Finally, I took the
hint my subconscious had been using to batter me and realized I was in a unique
position to write an interrogation based novel and make it as realistic as
fiction would allow. Lie Catchers is the result.
